We rounded up four healthy and four not-so-healthy orange foods to get you started. From left to right, we used bell peppers, baby carrots, clementines, cheddar cheese sticks, gummy candies and goldfish crackers, crunchy cheese snacks and chocolate pieces, which you can find in the cake decorating section of most craft stores.

Top the bags off with about 1/4 of a sheet of green tissue paper. Gather the end of the treat bag around the tissue paper. Using the green and white string, tie a bow to secure the bag and paper. As a final touch, cut the ends of the tissue paper into strips, creating a fringe effect.

After you've packaged the snacks, leave the non-perishable ones in a decorative tray or bowl where they can double as a centerpiece for a table. Enjoy!
